A slew of new amiibo were quietly revealed in addition to all the Switch 2 info<\/a> shared on April 2, confirming details gleaned from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filings a month ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new figures<\/a>, based on characters from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a><\/em> and Street Fighter 6<\/a><\/em>, will launch alongside the Switch 2 on June 5. Six Sage descendants Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, and Sidon represent the Zelda franchise, while Street Fighter newcomers Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly join the previously released Ryu and Ken figures as part of the fighting game\u2019s amiibo offerings.<\/p>\n

amiibo figures of Tulin, Yunobo, Riju and Sidon from The Legend of #Zelda<\/a>: #TearsOfTheKingdom<\/a> are releasing on June 5! Each one can unlock a fabric for Link\u2019s paraglider, as well as weapons and materials for your adventure. pic.twitter.com\/fG9dBiQftP<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite an FCC filing indicating the new Joy-Con 2 controllers would maintain amiibo support on Switch 2, it was unclear whether or not Nintendo intended to release more figures. That sound you just heard was collectors and completionists groaning in agony over learning they\u2019ll need to continue getting up early to hunt down limited supplies of these silly little plastic doodads.<\/p>\n
